NEW YORK (WNS) - The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith has urged the immediate establishment of a "freedom airlift" to transport Jews to Israel from the Soviet Union. Seymour Graubard, ADL national chairman, said the airlift would be the most emphatic response to Arab terrorist blackmail. He proposed a weekly shuttle of neutral airplanes which would carry Jews from an airport in the USSR to Tel Aviv. Graubard said the airlift would be a supplement and not replace the transit facilities in Austria. When Israeli Premier Golda Meir was asked in Tel Aviv about a direct Moscow-Lod airlift she said that it would be the best solution but it was up to the Russians to agree.
NEW YORK (WNS) - Daniel Silberman, one of the prominent Jews in the former government of Dr. Salvador Allende Gossens, has been sentenced to M years in prison by a Chilean military tribunal in An- tofagasta, some 800 miles north of Santiago. According to news reports reaching here, Silberman, who was the director of the country's nationalized copper mine' corporation, Chuquicamata, the largest open-pit copper mine in the world, was one of eight former corporation officials accused of trying to flee the country with funds allegedly taken from the industry's treasury. Silberman was reportedly transferred to an army military academy in Santiago to await a second trial in connection with having operated the mine under the Allende government.

NEW YORK, (JTA) ~ "This "attack was one of infamy and it is no accident that I use the term that was used during Pearl Harbor." Those words by Israel's Foreign Minister Abba Eban, spoken at the Israeli UN Mission" Saturday, characterzied the un¬ provoked attack by the combined forces of Egypt and Syria on Israel on Yom Kippur.
"It is blasphemous and sacriligious to choose this day of Atonement to launch a war," Eban said. To say, as the Egyptian Fdriegn Minister Mohammed el- Zayyat claimed, that Israel opened fire on Yom Kippur was to heap lies on calumny, Eban declared.
The world appeared shocked and aghast as war engulfed the Middle East at a time when it was least expected--as Israelis- marked the holiest day of the Jewish calendar and the diplomats of more than 120 nations were gathered at the ' UN where efforts to end the 25-year-old Middle East conflict topped the agenda.
American Jewish leaders mobilized in support of
Israel. A series of emergency meetings were held in New York Monday morning, their time and place unannounced for security reasons. The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations convened in New York Monday afternoon for a briefing on latest developments by Foreign Minister Abba Eban: In Washington; Secretary
of State Henry A. Kissinger continued his contacts with world diplomats which began ' early Saturday morning when he was first informed by aides of the new warfare in the Mideast. The Pentagon announced that the 45,000 ton aircraft carrier Independence with 80 aircraft and some 4000- 4500 military personnel aboard left Athens for an "undisclosed destination"
and that other units of§ne o U.S. Sixth Fleet headed by — Vice-Admiral Daniel £} Murphy have "put to sea " •< No other information was immediately available from the Pentagon. From Vienna it was N reported that Soviet Jewish immigrants who were to have been flown to Israel Sunday are being detained at the Schoenau transit Center

Controversy Over Women In Minyan Faces Tifereth Israel Congregation
by Bill Cohen Chronicle Special Reporter
With one rabbi vowing there will be no change and another calling for a joint decision among the rabbis and the congregation, Temple Tifereth Israel is now facing the controversy over whether or not to in¬ clude women as equals with
men in the minyan.
The opportunity to make a decision one way or the other comes as a result of a decision by the Committee on Jewish Law and Stan¬ dards of the Rabbinical Assembly of America to leave the dispute up to in¬ dividual Conservative congregations. Until the Committee's recent vote,
An Urgent Appeal To Columbus Jewry
Israel is in a crisis situation! Funds are needed immediately! The United Jewish Appeal urges the concerned Jews of America to help by redeeming their outstanding pledges to their local Federations.

women could not be counted' as one of the ten persons needed to make up a. minyan in a conservative synagogue.'
Rabbi Nathan Zelizer termed the change "too, revolutionary."
"Nothing is going to happen as long as I'm the Senior Rabbi," Zelizer told The Chronicle. "I believe that Conservative Judaism has made great progress within tradition, but this is change without tradition," -he added.
Zelizer said the decision to drop the -absolute ban against women counting as part of the minyan "will bring Conservative Judaism closer to Reform Judaism, and that was hot the intent of Conservative Judaism."
"It is not a question of equality," Zelizer explained. He said that traditional Judaism gives men some roles and women others; the women's' prime function being to care for children and to hold the family
